A horrible case of trance occurred
at Odessa, in Russia, and owing to
the position OF the person, has caused
considerable sensation. Major Meju-
rolf, an artillery officer and aide-de-
camp to the Governor General of
Odessa, aged IS, died, as was sup
posed, three weeks ago, somewhat
suddenly, and was inferred forty
hours afterward. His funeral was
marked by much military pomp and
by the presence of all the civic and
military mobiles.
A few days ago, while the family
vault in the metropolis was being re-
moved tor the Russian Fete des
Morris, the coffin lid was noticed to
have been partly forced open. 1t
was Immediately removed and the
body found face downward. The
face was dreadfully lacerated and
the flesh gnawed from the hands.
The corpse was still bleeding, which
confirms the statement of workman
that his attention was first attracted
by a noise in the coffin. and the un-
fortunate man died only on the in
slant of the appalling discovery.

As illustrating the advance made
in ocean steamship service, the Cap
tain OF a Cunarder says that the
Brittania, built in 1889, burned for
ty-four tons of coal day, and made
eight knots an hour, but the vessel
he now commands burns 800 tons a
day and makes Is knots an hour.
The carrying capacity has increased
more even than the speed, in proper.
ton to the amount Of coal used. The
coal used by the Cunarders foots up
556,f64 tons a year, or nearly 1000
tons day.

A very valuable monkey is the
chacma of Africa. When young
this babboon is very teachable, and
Is often kept by the Kaffirs as do
nestle animal. He takes the place
OF a dog, growing when stranger
comes near, and if it becomes neces-
sary to defend his masters property
he is much stronger than any dog.
The chacma easily learns to blow the
bellows of a smith and to drive hors-
es or oxen; but his greatest use in
that country is to find water. In the
hot season when the earth is parched
and springs and streams are dry, the
owner of a tame chacma takes him
out to hunt for the water they all
must have. The intelligent monkey
seems to know what is wanted, or
perhaps he knows by his .own feel
ings what to look for, and he goes
carefully over the ground, boxing
earnestly at every tutt of grass and
eagerly shifting the breeze on every
side. Whether he scents it or not is
not known, but if there is water in
the neighborhood he is sure to find
it. 1t may be deep spring, in which
case he sets to work digging down to
it and it may be a certain very juicy
root, which often serves instead OF
water. He gets that out also, and
let us hope he has his full share of il
in pay for his work.

A travelling Straightforward man
visited an Indian encampment, near
Lewiston, Idaho, the other day.
Seeinga small dog, he asked how
much they would take for him.
The indians said they didn't want to
sell. Him very good dog" said the
magician, rubbing him down the
back, at each stroke taking handful
Of money from the end OF his tail
also from his mouth, ears and nose.
The Indians looked in stold silence,
but after the magician went away,
they took the dog down to the river
bank and killed and dissected him.
10 their great chagrin they found
that the sleight-of hand man had
MIXED him of all the money.

Some people mean to have good
